Ok, I've been working on this for about 2 weeks now, and it's still in it's early developement stages.
I've checked the Front Page for several days to see it it has been done, and so far, it hasn't been created yet. So I am proud to make a thread on my save as being the 1st ever programmable word printer.
It actually prints words and numbers and it extremely easy to program. Usually when it comes down to printers, you think of tons of Wifi, but the thing about my printer is that it uses a ton of wifi, with over 90% of the wifi set to 5 main Channels. It's pretty cool and depending on having or not having just 1 pixel of PSTN, it can print 3x5 letters (with the occasional 5x5 letters for readability) and 5x5 letters (with the occasional 7x5 letters for readability). The really exciting thing about it is that if it's modified the right way, it can print everything from pictures to signatures and even signs.
It was hard timing the piston movements correctly with the "print" process, but through a little trial and error and some tweaking, I got it to work like a charm. I still debating on the idea of posting the Save ID, as people can easily copy, paste tweak and even get it done before I do and claim it as their own. I know I'm kind of teasing those that wouldn't copy it by not posting it, but it's just a concern that I have right now. But when I get it done, I'll make sure to post it in a thread before publishing it!
BTW: A really good Idead to put in the next update would be the ability for the Author to delete their save from the Public Server, that way early designs can't and won't get out early, especially due to the fact that the Publish Box is Filled in by Default when you try to Save a personal copy of a save.
Thank You and I'd love some Feedback from the Community!
For those that may want to help me with finishing this Programmable Word Printer, just let me know with a Comment in this tread AS WELL AS a Private Message and I'll talk to you ans send you the Save ID!
I'd like to help!
My typewriter used about 20 channels of wifi... To program it, you just need to make your own little card type thingy. BTW: there is a wifi script to set wifi faster and easier. You might see some things you want in my typewriter, if you don't care to check it out. MAybe it can come in handy.
I'd also like to join! Together we're gonna make this thing bust the frontpage :D
Wow, I can't believe I might be working with benthecrazy on this, this is very exciting :D
Thanks for the feedback Peeps! I'll post the save later on today and we can all get started. Oh, and one more thing, after modifying the save, make sure to save it as Programmable Printer ?? #.# (?? will be your personal initials and #.# will be the personal version of your save. Make sure to save it as a Private Save and please Do Not Publish It! :D
